Hello?

Is that Nont's house?

Are you Faifu?

Yes, this is she.

It's Fern.

Fern?

Hold on for a second, okay?

Mom, Fern's calling!

Oh, then go and tell your brother.

Why did you come and tell me? Go on, go!

Nont, you've got a phone call!

I'll be down in a second.

Hurry up and come down!

Who's calling?

I don't know.

But I know you'll regret it if she hangs up

before you answer.

Hello?

Nont.

It's me, Fern.

Fern?

Is that really you?

Nut told me

you've been trying to reach me.

Is something the matter?

Uh...

Well...

How have you been?

Are you doing okay?

I'm fine.

What about you?

How are you doing?

I'm...

I'm doing okay.

Fern.

Well...

There's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time.

I...

What is that?

Look to the right! Look over there!

Oh my gosh!

Stop! Look there!

- Nont? - Fern?

Hello? Fern?

Is something wrong, Fern?

There's one question

I keep asking myself.

Where is my happiness?

And there were many times

when I tried to find the answer.

But the only thing.

I could think of was.

I could only be happy

when she existed

in my world.

Wait here.

Fern.

Nont!

(May 1992)

Nont?

Nont?

Nont, wake up!

Wake up!

Nont!

Wake up!

It's time to get up! Come on!

You're not going to get up?

Will you get up now?

Will you get up now?

No, I won't.

Oh, you won't?

All right.

Oof!

Faifu!

What are you playing at?

- Oops. - Do you like pranking me?

What was that "oops"? What was it?

Do you enjoy pranking me? Do you?

Do you?

- Oh! I'm late! - Huh?

Oops.

Why did you wake me up late, Faifu?

Mom said I don't have to go to school today.

And...

where's Mom?

She's out front.

Your school's closed too.

Faifu?

Faifu!

What?

Let's go see Mom.

Okay.

Come on.

Go! Go! Go!

Go on.

Faifu,

you're playing games again.

Oh, Mom. How come we don't have to go to school?

Oh? They've announced the closure of all schools today.

Didn't you see the news?

What news?

There's a protest against the government today.

They've already closed Ratchadamnoen Avenue.

There's a huge crowd.

So the bank I'm working at is closed for today as well.

The government's announced a curfew and school closures.

That's it.

You're smiling. What does that mean?

Are you happy you don't have to go to school?

That's not it.

I'm actually sad I don't get to go.

Oh?

Who's going to believe you?

Come on.

There's nothing more to say.

Go brush your teeth and take a shower.

And then call Faifu

so we can have breakfast.

- Okay? - Sure, Mom.

What are you drinking?

Nont!

What are you drinking? You can't drink coffee!

You're still young.

If you want to drink something, there's Ovaltine.

- Just a little bit. - Give it to me.

Nont!

That's enough. Give it to me.

Go and get your sister. I'll get breakfast ready.

Hello?

Hello? Kluay?

Darn it! Why are you calling this early?

Do you want to make an offering to the monks?

There's a protest today,

so they've announced an emergency school closure.

- School's closed. - Really?

So we don't have to go to school today?

Hey, let's go and play snooker.

Huh? Snooker?

Sure, let's go!

It's good you called me.

Otherwise, I'd be the only person at school.

Okay. Let's meet at Tui's shop then.

- Hurry up. - Sure, sure.

I'll call Win then.

- I'll jump in the shower. - Okay.

Let's play snooker!

Hello?

Can I speak to Win, please?

Oh.

Nont, what's up?

Hey, Win. Let's go and play snooker.

How is that possible?

There's a protest.

I have to study too.

Aren't you guys studying?

The entrance exams are soon.

Ugh.

It's too warm to study at home. The parlor has AC.

And we'll be able to chat too.

About what?

We're aiming for different faculties.

It's not going to make sense.

Come on, Win.

Why are you being so uptight?

Come on. I'll review the fundamentals with you.

All right.

Bring your textbooks over.

Sure.

I'll see you later then.

- See you. - Okay.

Oh, Nont?

Why haven't you brought your sister to the table?

Okay, Mom.

Faifu,

let's eat.

Just a little bit longer.

Faifu, come and eat.

Just a little bit. Okay?

I'll turn it off now if you don't stop.

No.

Turn it off. It's time for breakfast. Get up!

Let's go! It's breakfast time!

Come on.

Mom.

I'm going out with Win and Kluay.

We're going to study.

Aren't you going to have breakfast first?

No, I'll eat with them.

- Oh? - I have to go now.

Bye, Mom.

Faifu, where's Mom?

She's out front.

Oh.

Anyway, I have to go.

Wow, you look disgusted.

I'm going, Mom.

Are you sure you're going to study with your friends?

Of course. Kluay and I need Win to tutor us for the exam.

Don't worry.

Don't go where the protest is. You've seen the news, haven't you?

I know, Mom.

I have to go now.

Wait.

Come here, honey.

Come on.

Come home before the evening curfew, okay?

Bye, Mom.

Sit or lie still

and only drink water.

Purify your heart.

And you'll be able to last for seven days.

Then Major General Chamlong announced his resignation

as the leader of the Phalang Dharma party.

At six o'clock in the morning,

a military representative proposed

a negotiation on two matters with the protest leaders.

No details have been revealed.

The tense atmosphere has started to relax a little.

Protesters have gradually started to head home.

But around 10,000 remain.

The military and police have now surrounded them.

Oh?

Kluay,

why did you turn off the TV?

Oh? Aren't you going to play with us?

Ooh!

- Tui. - Huh?

Why did you insist on opening your shop

despite the situation?

Despite the situation? It's just a protest with people fasting.

They'll be hungry by tomorrow and eat. So why should I close it?

It's probably nothing.

There's no need to close the place.

We have customers at a table.

We have to serve them.

Service is our passion.

We're out of ice. So go out and buy some.

I thought you guys said we were here to study.

Go ahead and study. We closed the shop just for you.

Go on.

You're a loser. Just stick to the books.

Don't join us.

Right.

- Oh? - Huh?

Huh?

Hey!

It's game on for Win!

- Nont! - Yes?

- Pick a number. - All right.

We're playing "Phi Lai".

Honestly, Win.

Did you really read all of these books?

Did you?

Yes.

Why would you even bother studying law?

The book is massive, and there's a lot to memorize. What a headache.

I don't think I can handle it.

True that.

I've chosen to go to law school

because the law can help you read people,

and I won't be stupid like some people.

Ouch.

- He's talking about you. - You've got quite the mouth on you.

For engineering students like me,

we study to become systematic in our thinking,

unlike those enocomics students.

It's "economics".

- Economics? - Yes.

- You're remembering it wrong. - Out of the way.

- What? - Move.

Should we do it this way?

The last person standing

gets to have Daidomon for free.

- Sure. - Deal?

- All right. - You?

Yes.

Darn it!

Shoot!

It's my number!

Right.

- Hey! - Hey!

Yes!

Huh?

- Hey! - Darn it!

I get to eat for free.

Hey, Nont?

Oops. What is this?

Don't stress, you moron! You're not studying!

Don't tell me...

- It's my number. - Darn it!

Shoot.

- Nont, you're paying. - No, you are.

- Yours. - No, yours!

- I scored one. - But you...

Enough, enough.

You two can pay for it.

Tui!

Tui!

Wake up! Tui!

- Tui! - I wasn't sleeping.

Oh? And what are you doing?

I'm thinking about

what I'm going to do. There's only one table left.

It's not the time. Something's about to happen!

- What? - Just now,

I saw soldiers and tanks coming onto the alley.

They're ordering all shops to close.

What?

Close the shop!

Huh?

Oh? What?

What's going on?

- What happened? - Why did you turn the lights off?

Who should I answer?

I'll just give you a general answer.

Things aren't too good right now.

You should all go home.

Go on.

Trust me.

Let's go.

We're going now.

- Bye. - Bye, Tui.

- Bye. - Don't stray. Just go home.

Why is he stressing out so much?

So where should we go? What should we do?

- You choose. - Study, of course.

Oh, come on! How hard are you going to study?

I know. What's the point?

So where are we going?

Should we find another place?

You're so adorable, Win. You keep going at it.

This is the final warning...

Call off the protest!

Nut!

Nut!

Nut!

Why would he close his shop now?

It's good Tui kicked us out, or you'd keep losing to me.

Wow, what a braggart!

I kept scoring. I was on fire.

What was that?

Let's have a look.

What's going on?

What is this?

Hey!

Nont!

Kluay! Win!

- Hey! - Nut!

- Nut! - Kluay! Win!

Nut!

Nut!

Where's Nont?

- Where is he? - Where did he disappear to?

Hey!

- We have to leave now! Go! - Darn it!

Fern!

Give it up!

Run.

Quick. Watch your step.

Go on!

- Come on! - Go! Go!

Hey!

- Let's go! Second floor! - This way.

Get up!

Get up!

- Calm down. - Hands behind your head!

Hey!

Hey!

Come out!

Now!

I said come out.

Now!

Hands behind your head!

Hands behind your head!

- Go on! - Go!

Where are you going? Come here!

Go!

I think they're all gone.

Let's go outside and have a look.

Wait here.

I'll go.

Stay here.

Don't go anywhere.

Gosh!

Nont!

Where have you been? I thought you got lost.

I was hiding, obviously.

- That was so scary. - I know.

- We should hurry up and leave. - Right.

Hey, hold on!

Can you guys come with me first?

- To where? - Come on!

Where are we going now?

- Hurry up! - Oh, no.

Fern!

Fern!

Fern!

Where are you going?

Nont!

What's going on, Nont?

Nothing.

Well, if it's nothing, then we should leave!

- Right? - Why on earth did we come in here?

- Okay, okay. - Let's go!

(1993 Entrance Examination Results Announcement)

(1993 Entrance Examination Results Announcement)

I got in.

- I got in! - I got in.

I got in!

Sorry.

I got a little too excited.

Fern!

Fern! Did you get in?

Here! Look!

I'm so happy!

Then you should blow out your candle.

- I got in too! Come and see! - Let's go!

- Where is it? - Here.

That's my name!

Awesome!

- I got in, Nont! I got in! - Really?

Congratulations. I got in too!

- You too? - Yes!

Where's Win?

He's over there.

Win! I got in!

Win!

- I got in. - Me too.

What about you?

I...

didn't.

Look at him.

He's acting all solemn. You moron!

I'm going to drive to uni

and give girls a lift every day. Is that a good idea?

- That's rad. - Rad!

Absolutely.

Should I wear jeans or slacks?

- I think jeans are cooler. - Indeed.

Besides, we can grow out our hair now.

Whoa. It's so rad.

I'm going to be a chick magnet!

That's right.

Hey.

Win?

Are you...

for real?

Huh?

Did you look carefully? How could that be?

Nont and I will go and have another look.

Right.

I checked several times.

And I checked all of them.

I don't think so. Hey, light the candle.

- I'll give it another look. - Agreed.

I don't think you looked carefully enough.

Your eyesight is a bit awful anyway.

Let's go.

I thought it was a miracle I got into uni.

But it's even more of a miracle you didn't.

(A.D. 2007)

Hello?

What's up?

Are you in New York?

Of course.

What are you doing over there?

Well, the current owner of Fern's house

lives here.

And who is that?

His name is Wilson.

Don't tell me you went all the way to his country just to see him.

Well, I asked to meet him here.

I want to talk about buying Fern's house back.

Hey!

Let me.

Nont, I think...

Don't say anything else.

Haven't you given up on the house?

All right.

I guess you've realized

that Fern's dead.

And you're still going to...

Hello?

Nont?

Nont?

What? He hung up on me.

Oh?

Well, you were too harsh, Win.

He's going to run amok now.

That jerk's been running amok for ages now.

You guys are so useless.

Come on. Cheers, Tui.

Who was going to go to a market just now?

Why are you going now? All the shops are closed!

Is this really the time?

- Excuse me? - He's in New York?

- Can I have some more beer, please? - Huh?

You want some more gears?

All right. Let's get grinding.

- Darn. - Cheers, Tui.

How is he doing? He went all the way there?

That's far.

Take it easy.

Aren't you flying tomorrow morning?

No need to wait until morning.

Let's do it now.

I've been searching for this flight.

I wasn't talking about that.

She's a flight attendant.

Oh, I thought you were asking for the bill.

My bad.

Hi.

I just followed the map that you sent me.

But there is a pizza shop.

So,

where are you now?

Please come inside.

Okay.

(Arcobaleno Pizza Asian Style)

Nice to meet you, Mr. Arnont.

Nice to meet you too.

Let's speak Thai.

It's probably more convenient.

- Sure. - Please have a seat.

I heard you're of Thai heritage.

I didn't expect you to be this fluent.

I speak to Thai people all the time,

so I haven't forgotten.

I see. Let's get to the point then.

I'd like to discuss the purchase of the house.

- According to the document... - Nont,

you seem like a hot-tempered person.

Do you mind if I order some coffee?

Well, I don't want to take up much of your time.

I actually don't have anywhere to be after this.

I'm glad to finally meet you in person.

But I have to admit that you're very persistent.

But I like

someone who doesn't give up easily.

Hey, Lisa.

Would you like some coffee?

- Uh... - Black coffee, okay?

Two coffees, please.

Thank you.

I'm happy

to sell you the house.

But I'm just wondering

about the reason

why you want it so much.

My team and I

are quite certain about WJ's asset value

in all of our investments.

And according to my evaluation of this house,

the land in that area will become a lot more profitable

as time goes by.

What about you?

What are your investment plans

for this piece of land?

The thing is,

I just want to keep the house.

You want to buy it so you can keep it?

It's an old house worth over ten million. Are you buying it

just to look at it?

I'm sorry. I guess you're not the former owner,

nor a relative of the former owner.

Something like that, right?

No, I'm not.

So, why do you want it?

Thank you.

How touching.

You want your significant other's house back.

I have a lot of memories with this house.

But... Excuse me.

But where is she now?

Is she with you today?

She... passed away.

Thank you.

My apologies.

I haven't eaten anything since morning.

So I ordered in advance.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

This is my restaurant.

And this is our special pizza.

Give it a taste.

It's okay. I'm not hungry.

Give it a try.

I really want to know if you'd find it delicious or not.

Sure.

What do you think?

How's the taste?

It's a special recipe. We mix shrimp fat with spices.

And we fry the shrimp tails to a crisp.

As for the sauce,

it's a mixture of prik pao and cheese.

It's not an easy taste to achieve.

So it's considered a specialty to the person who created it.

I think we should talk business.

I want the house your company owns.

You know what?

Sometimes,

when people want something so badly,

they rely on their emotions rather than reasoning.

But some people

rely on both simultaneously.

Here are all the details.

As for the price,

you name it.

I'm happy to pay whatever the amount is.

I've already done a background check on your company.

I have to consider a lot of factors

before I can sell a piece of land.

Being able to afford it doesn't mean you can make a purchase.

Well,

I'd like you to know

that this house

is very important to me.

That important?

If it's really important,

why did you let it go in the first place?

I'm afraid I can't sell it to you.

I refuse to sell it

especially if you're the buyer.

Seriously,

do you have a problem with me?

The thing is.

I have to keep this house as a reminder

of my fiancée as well.

Your fiancée?

Fern.

The woman you abandoned.

I hope you understand

everything clearly now.

And I'm sorry

for wasting your time.

But I'll take good care of Fern's house.

If you can't keep your word,

I'm going to be the one

to take it back.

He's got a crush on a girl at uni. She's his soulmate.

Don't listen to him, Win. He's just saying things.

You just got into uni.

You've got tricks up your sleeves.

She's just cute.

But I don't have a crush on her.

"I don't have a crush!" Moron!

Just admit it.

You want her number, don't you?

Then look for her name in the telephone book.
